I suppose that wouldn't work as we would need steam to have locomotives and that requires design action prolly. DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS. I suppose it could work, but I'm still not sure if it would be just "mere" revision.
I actually do not suck cocks.

Plateways would be a good idea, because we could design some trains next turn.  However I'm pretty sure it's not a revision we should improve our carriages to transport more resources.

Giving waitlisted people the ability to murder non-responsive players was a great idea. Need to do that more often.

More horses and larger carriages should be fairly simple.

Revise the whatever roads we have right now to have simple tracks and the carriages to fit in and also be linkable. Won't give us a lot but we'll be prepared for trains.

I'm seconding some way to introduce our resource situation. Better roads sound good - or, like proposed, an iron-reinforced wagonway, as experimented with in the - English - town of Coalbrookdale.

I support this, all we have to do is invent the combustion engine and boom trains.

For your information, I should note that if you are revising your transport system to require a new method, then what they are required to run on will be built automatically.

+1 to Wagonways, seems like a good middle step towards trains and such.

Yeah, I guess we revise our carriages to be useable on some kind of rails, also linkable to each other like railroad cars, also being able to be pulled by (a lot) more horses than regular carriages.

Since I'm not sure what would benefit us the most as far as infrastructure improvements, I'll stay at the sidelines and let you guys decide on that.

 We probably should select a gauge sooner rather than later. Because I am aggravating and am possibly insane, I suggest either 15" or 2' gauges. Or possibly both. If we do go with 15" gauge it will be quite useful in places like fortifications and as a temporary system.

Anyway, since our decision on what to build seems to be made, how about thinking ahead to the next phases. Our production phase seems quite obvious, but on which of the two enemies will we focus.

I think we should utilize our newly constructed ships to take control of the seas. Peacefully enforce a "light" naval blockade on the island where we encourage foreign traders to dock at our lands, or pay traffic dues to the British empire.
